XLamp® MHD-G and MHD-E LED Arrays - The XLamp® MHD-G and MHD-E LED from Cree is a category of high-power LED arrays that delivers a better way to achieve low-cost systems than multiple mid-power (MP) LEDs. Built using Cree’s high-reliability ceramic package technology, the XLamp MHD-G and MHD-E is able to operate at higher-temperatures than MP LEDs with no reduction in rated lifetime, enabling an impressive 60% reduction in heat sink size and cost. Using many times fewer LEDs than MP LEDs to achieve the same performance, the XLamp MHD-G and MHD-E LED is optimized to simplify LED system designs for directional and semi‑directional applications.

XLamp XHP50 & XHP70 LEDs - Powered by Cree’s groundbreaking SC5 Technology™ Platform, the XLamp XHP50 and XHP70 LEDs are members of Cree’s Extreme High Power (XHP) class of LEDs that redefine lumen density and reliability to radically reduce system costs by up to 40%. At its maximum current, the XHP50 LED delivers twice the light output of the industry’s brightest single-die LED, the XLamp XM-L2 LED, at a similar lumens per watt and without increasing the package footprint. The XHP50 LED also achieves longer lifetime at higher operating temperatures. The overall result is significantly lower-thermal, mechanical, and optical costs at the system level.

Product Information

Product Characterization Tool (PCT)The Cree Product Characterization Tool (PCT) allows you to select from multiple lighting-system design parameters to compare up to three LED models simultaneously. The PCT uses specifications and characteristics from LED data sheets to accurately compare LED parameters with changes in flux, price and junction temperature. The PCT can compare up to three LED models side-by-side to aid in making critical design choices. More...
